I don't think you have to make fun of him.  Some people have other, more important priorities than gaming.  Maybe he has another hobby...

No need to be rude.  We're adults, right?

Aces High makes people agressive, heck they even attack their friends online!

I think HTC's biggest worry is that they'll get somekind of a lame ban in the states for 'video game violence' ehehe =)

Or, then again they might just ban this BB

So, why can't I ship a package residence to residence using FedEx ground service.  I tried this the other day, and they said my only option was Overnight or 2-day and the price was right around $29.00.  I hate UPS, so I had to ship it by USPS.  What's the deal?

Ummm, am I in the right place?

If you're out of money then I guess even 5 bucks is too much.
Other way if you got some money its not a problem.
This concerns only western ppl; It might be hard to pay 30$/month if your monthly income is something like 100-200 dollars. Looks like you're from N.Y so I guess 30bucks should not be a problem; You can always sell some drugs <j/k>.

Yep. 29 bucks. American. Fly all yah want, 24/7.

Or, go to the movies, watch Anthony Hopkins eat fried people fingers followed by watching Tom Hanks get a tan.. 4 hours; 29 bucks. American.

Lemme know when Hollywood goes broke and I can watch that crap fer free.

Gawd; I luv this country. Annother sucker born every minute...

LOL

Aye men hang. Outback Steak House cost me 2 Months of Aces High, and the Britainia Arms Pub another month Sunday. That's in about a 5 hour span in one night. I paid about $22 all said and done to see Tom Hanks talk to a volleyball last week as well. No damn way you can say AH isn't dirt cheap quality entertainment.

Of course it's just some alias being a fool, but did you notice FedEx's email addy? I bet he gives $20 a month for AOL...doh.

HAHAHAHAH

Someone named FEDEX complaining about PRICE?

HAHAHAHAHAH

Creamo, how much would sending a 5 pound package to Europe have cost had you not had that massive discount?

105 dollars?

For a package worth less than that.

HAHAHAH.

Eat yer hearts out, FedEx. What goes around, comes around  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).

hey FedEx kiddie, buy a vintage spit and restore it for me pls, then buy yourself a runstang and restore it as well. Then let us take a ride and see who comes back. After the fun, you pick up the check (given you survived ;-). That will be the end of your complaints concerning 29$/month, kid ;-) Once you start "real life (TM)" and pay your bills, you'll realize, 29$ doesn't get you anywhere these days really.  I flew real planes and this comes as close as anything to it, forget boxed sims and any other attempts. I get my air-fix every-nite now, used to hang out @ airports for days for 1-2 hours up and that was 60$/hour smallest plane. And moreover, the big red button on the yoke was mike, not the guns so the quality of entertainement wasn't even close to AH ;-)

If he bought a spitfire and mustang, would he come back here and continuously post about how the sim is wrong because it just doesn't feel "like the time I flew in the 2-seater spitfire or mustang"?  Just wondering.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Hey! I *resent* the statement about the movie theater.

$29 =

1 Adult Evening ticket: $8.25
1 Large Popcorn: $6.29
1 Large Drink (can never go without it) $4.50
Total: $19.04

You forgot that ALL large sizes come with a free refill!

Of course, a large size usually consists of a 2lb bag of popcorn and a 64oz mug.

Some small facts I'll let you in on:

Each small bag of popcorn sold at a movie theater costs about 2c. At a usual Hoyts going rate (local chain of theaters) of $4.29, you figure out the percent of profit. Same goes for that mug of coke you buy - the syrup is about $70 for each case in the back, and each of those cases puts out about 100 or so drinks at an average of $4.00 a piece.

The butter? About 100 calories each squirt. (dead serious)

Used to work in a movie theater!


Hey wait... isn't this thread about how Tom Hanks talks to a volleyball? (seems to tbe that FedEx is in the same situation)
